RFC: Change what assert does on error

[Walter Bright]

Malware continues to be a problem. I wound up with two on my system last week. 
Ransomware seems to be rather popular. How does it get on a system?

I don't share your confidence. Malware authors seem to be very, very good at 
finding exploits.

Besides, a bug in a program can still corrupt the data, causing the program to 
do unpredictable things. Do you really want your trading software suddenly 
deciding to sell stock for a penny each? Or your pacemaker to suddenly behave 
erratically? Or your avionics to suddenly do a hard over? Or corrupt your data 
files?

If you knew what the bug is that caused an assert to trip, why didn't you fix it 
beforehand?
